[reaction: see text] A twistacene, 6,8,15,17-tetraphenyl-1.18,4.5,9.10,13.14-tetrabenzoheptacene (3), was synthesized using a mild and novel bisbenzyne precursor. It was characterized by X-ray crystallography, NMR, UV-vis, and IR spectroscopies, as well as cyclic voltammetry and DFT calculations. The heptacene derivative possesses a nonpropeller twist topology and is unusually stable for a highly conjugated oligoacene. In addition, it is fluorescent, with a quantum efficiency of 15%. Distortion from planarity, mostly due to the phenyl substituents, causes only marginal changes in electronic properties and is beneficial for redox reversibility, which is required for efficient OLED devices.

Bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) is known for its unique layered microstructure, which plays a pivotal role in enhancing its photocatalytic properties. This study introduces a novel strategy for controlling the phase composition, facet orientation, and oxygen vacancy formation in BiOCl through precise pH adjustment during the synthesis. By employing a hydrothermal method, we systematically varied the pH to produce distinct BiOCl phases and conducted detailed structural and photocatalytic analyses.

Golgi apparatus (GA) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are two of the interesting subcellular organelles that are critical for protein synthesis, folding, processing, post-translational modifications, and secretion. Consequently, dysregulation in GA and ER and cross-talk between them are implicated in numerous diseases including cancer. As a result, simultaneous visualization of the GA and ER in cancer cells is extremely crucial for developing cancer therapeutics.

Lanthanide(III) complexes with two-photon absorbing antennas are attractive for microscopy imaging of live cells because they can be excited in the NIR. We describe the synthesis and luminescence and imaging properties of two Eu complexes, and , with (-carbazolyl)-aryl-alkynyl-picolinamide and (-carbazolyl)-aryl-picolinamide antennas, respectively, conjugated to the TAT cell-penetrating peptides. Contrary to what was previously observed with related Eu complexes with carbazole-based antennas in a mixture of water and organic solvents, these two complexes show very low emission quantum yield (Φ < 0.

In recent decades, organic electrosynthesis has emerged as a practical, sustainable, and efficient approach that facilitates valuable transformations in synthetic chemistry. Combining electrochemistry with transition-metal catalysis is a promising and rapidly growing methodology for effectively forming challenging C-C and C-heteroatom bonds in complex molecules in a sustainable manner. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the combination of electrochemistry and copper catalysis for various organic transformations.

Within the context of the circular economy, the transformation of agri-food waste or by-products into valuable products is essential to promoting a transition towards more sustainable and efficient utilisation of resources. Whey is a very abundant by-product of dairy manufacturing. Apart from partial reutilisation in animal feed or some food supplements, the sustainable management and disposal of whey still represent significant environmental challenges.
